A Shove Fest

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Michael Sklenicka has just been eliminated and was kind enough to relay what had happened.

John Hennigan shoved all in from the cutoff for 27,000 with {10-}{7-} suited and Scotty Nguyen folded in the small blind with {a-}{j-} offsuit. Sklenicka called in the big blind with {k-}{9-} suited. The flop came king high but Hennigan rivered the flush.

The hand after that, Sklenicka shoved with {a-}{7-} offsuit and was called by the player in the big blind with {q-}{j-} and the queen came on the river to take Sklenicka out of the running for today.

A few hands later, the player in the late position raised to 6,000 and [Removed:532] shoved for 26,000 from the small blind. The player in the big blind called and the initial raiser folded.

[Removed:532]: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Big Blind: {K-Spades}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} to provide [Removed:550] with the double-up.

Phil Hellmuth

Markus Gonsalves raised to 13,000 from early position and was called by Phil Hellmuth in the hijack and the player in the big blind.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, the big blind check-folded to Gonsalves' 20,000 continuation-bet and Hellmuth called.

The turn brought them the {7-Clubs}, Gonsalves fired another 35,000 bet over the line and Hellmuth called again.

The river completed the board with the {k-Spades}, Gonsalves barreled another 50,000 bet into the pot. Hellmuth though about it for a while and then called. Gonsalves showed {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for the flopped set of treys to scoop the pot as Hellmuth mucked his hand.
